You don't believe what you don't see
Each grain of sand beneath the sea
You have no fate in a dream
Fade into the landscape unseen
In a field of weeds killing time
A winding river rushes by
All the while you seem to be going blind
A cold numb gray in your eyes

Breathe in, breathe deep
A lifetime is too long to sleep
Staring at lightning won't keep you warm
You hear the thunder but can't get out of the storm

Growing weak and then
this has to end where it begins
Waiting for winter's first snow
to cover you tracks so no one will know
that you ever lived or ever lied
You wouldn't give and never tried
No words worth air ever sound
from the flightless bird bound to the ground

Breathe in, breathe deep
A lifetime is too long to sleep
Staring at lightning won't keep you warm
You hear the thunder but can't get out of the storm
